A floppy disk just froze the pc it came up qith that 'end now' thing and i lose my desktop picture for 10 secs.. Does this affect any transfers going from the internet to the pc, by the way please dont have a go at me for this because what i was downloading wasn't pirate it was a tiral bit of software. Can a freeze like that (if it was a freeze) disturb any downloads??

Also are there programs to repair floppies without formatting??

Most downloading programs automatically pick up where they left off when this happens. The peer to peer handshaking prevents data loss.

The old Norton Disk Doctor could sometimes fix a funky floppy.

Whats the P2P handshaking, would bit comet support that?

Whats the P2P handshaking?

It's two computers "talking" to each other to make sure the transfer completes properly.
COMP1: Did you get my last packet okay?
COMP2: Yes. I'm ready for the next.
COMP1: Did you get my last packet okay?
COMP2: No. Please resend.
COMP1: Okay, resending...
COMP1: Did you get my last packet okay?

Etc, etc, etc.

Would bit comet support that?

It should

Would 'torrentspy' tell me if i had any data missing at the end of it?

this is what torrent spy does and tell me at the end if it wld fix it if it missed chubks out, here:

"The intent behind TorrentSpy is to give the BitTorrent power-user all the information they can get in one place. The primary motivating feature is the ability to see in real time the current number of complete/incomplete users on a torrent. The other neat feature is the ability to see which of your files in a multi-file torrent are complete and which are not. It can easily be set up to work as the default .torrent application, so that you will always know the status before you start your download. It gives you quick shortcuts to related Tracker web interfaces, and it's got a smattering of other fine features."
